Tell whether the expression is a polynomial If it is give it

Tell whether the expression is a polynomial. If it is, give its degree. If it is not, state why not.

y^2+6

----------

y^4-3

Therefore, is the given expression a polynomial?

A. The given expression is not a polynomial, because the polynomial in the denominator has a degree greater than 0.

B The given expression is not a polynomial, because there is only one monomail term.

C. the given express is polynomial.

What is the degree of above expression?

A. Write correct answer

B. The expression is not polynomial.

Solution

y^2 + 6 / y^4 - 3

the expression is not a polynomial since degree of denominator is greater

if we divide y^2 / y^4 we get y^-2 and a polynomial cannot have a negative exponent value

hence, it is not a polynomial
